30 parks and gardens to catch your breath in Lisbon and surroundings

Amidst all the hustle and bustle of a city that is said to be increasingly trendy and lively, green spaces are perfect to catch your breath, enjoy silence and, if it is the case, let children loose. The proverbial good weather of Lisbon deserves to be enjoyed in the various gardens and parks of the city center and its surroundings. We chose 30 of varying dimensions and with more or less infrastructures, where one can spread a picnic towel and walk barefoot on the grass or just breathe a purer air and achieve some calmness.
